Lara

For me, the best aspect of teaching is seeing the progress my students make and the love of learning that I can encourage. I am particularly passionate about literature, notably drama, but generally I just love teaching! This is why I have gained teaching qualifications not only in secondary English and drama, but also in EFL, dance, yoga and snowboarding!

I currently live in Epsom during the week, but on most weekends and in the school holidays I am in Hove. I am, therefore, flexible to tutor in either of these locations.

Tutoring Experience

Over the past 20 years:
- I have enjoyed teaching hundreds of students in various contexts
- I have taught at top schools like Brighton College
- I have taught in a range of independent and non-selective state schools, international summer schools, and given private tuition to primary, secondary, university, and adult learners
- I have tutored students in the preparation of monologues for auditions to theatre companies and drama schools with a great deal of success.

Over the past 10 years:
- I have been Head of Department at Brighton College, Alton School, and, currently, Epsom College
- I have led and taught a wide range of syllabi and facilitated excellent results

I am looking forward to returning to more tutoring alongside my teaching job after a few years of mainly focusing on my full-time positions in schools. In the past I have tutored a range of ages and abilities, all with excellent outcomes.

Tutoring Approach

I am extremely supportive and positive in my approach, and I always aim for the highest standards in everything that I do. I genuinely care about the progress of my students and invest a great deal of energy in helping them to achieve their best.
